Fred Rogers endorses this message.
production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

All this “self-driving” bullshit is simply a distraction by car companies to limit any real discussion or investment in public transportation.

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

This goes to my longstanding soapbox: everything is a disability policy from housing to health care to urban planning to mass transit.

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"
